GMAT Club Timer Informer

Hi GMATClubber!

Thank you for using the timer!
We noticed you are actually not timing your practice. Click the START button first next time you use the timer.
There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:

As you can notice Im going for the brand here and Im sure that the placements they have are better than what my college does. I am looking to stay in the US/UK with my job for a few years before pursuing an ExecMBA/PhD depending on where I want to place myself. Money -- Willing to take up a loan of upto 80 lacs.

My two cents: I think that you have a standing chance for the top programs if you leverage your leadership/entrepreneurial spirit briefly stated in your post.

Most importantly, you already hand MC experience at EY, which is in line with your post-grad goals...and the fact that you have another internship coming along will further strengthen your profile.

Even more, a 720 is a solid score, so if you get there, I guess you have a good shot at LBS / Duke.

So, you can make it. But it's up to you. Best of luck!

Hi Vasilescu! Thanks for your reply.

From what I gather, my story should fit into my career track.

I have been a very, very bad student. I have an assorted bunch of grades from Es to As.Math is something I love, I had won national competition in mathematical modelling but I managed to score only a D in my college level courses.

Why?

I spent all my time thinking about my startup. And how Ill be scaling it. So I have a reason as to why I was sleeping throughout the classes. But after my internship I want to learn more about strategic management, I want to focus on industrial experience.

I mean I strongly believe you should be as honest as possible and explain the reasons for aspects such as lower grades etc., but in doing so you should emphasize the context in which this happened; don't use you extra-curricular work as an excuse, but rather as an achievement which unfortunately lead to a not-so-good performance in other areas of your application.

Lots of applicants want into consulting; it's a great option to start one's full-time career and many of those who apply will want this track; You're advantage is that you already did an internship in the field.
